We do not discuss movies

this movie. For a computer fan. Perhaps more concerned about the IMSAI 8080
and the supporting 8-inch floppy drive and IMSAI 212A modem. These old antiques. In the early 1980s. But hackers everyone dreams of equipment,
perhaps from the current point of view. The INTEL 8080 CPU speed is only 2MHZ. The memory is only 4K. The largest expansion to 64K. In
that era, there was no PCI-E and only the so-called poor S100 bus.
Can the software be gradually expanded ? It can run CP/M (the predecessor of DOS) and can run BASIC and FORTRON.

This movie is me I have seen the earliest movie about hackers. I watched it on TV in the 90s. I feel that the protagonist is very handsome typing on the keyboard.
I have always felt that the late 1970s was the golden age of microcomputer development. Everything just started, everything is possible. It is represented by 8-bit CPUs such as 8080 and 6502 Z80.
For example, CP/M made Microsoft. I think 6502 also makes APPLE. The young people of that era may be the happiest group of people in this era.
Followed by that era. The threshold for computers is relatively low. 6502 2114 Everything is possible. . The current era is not an era when individuals play computers. DDR memory is attached to the top of the CPU (POP process)

    Don't say anything else, just say that the scene where the male protagonist talks to the computer is what he means to talk to Siri now. . .

    I watched it a long time ago, but I haven't seen it yet
